Step Ladder Makeover

I'm sort of addicted to searching Craigslist for affordable furniture. Craigslist allows you to find great deals from folks trying to sell in a hurry. I recently found this little step ladder for $5. I purchased it with the intent of using it in my son's room, but it wasn't the right fit for the space. After a little head-scratching I decided to use it as a plant stand for my indoor plants.

the little details.

Hmm...what do you think? Not bad for 5 bucks! Have you had any luck with Craigslist lately?

I love this Brandi, the color is great and it looks so fabulous with your plants on it. I've been searching CL looking for a new stove,mine decided it had enough and died... no luck yet. I'll keep looking.

It is perfect Brandi! I love ladders and you made this little one adorable! Love the color. I have yet to use Craiglist to buy, we have sold a couch before but that is about it. Enjoy your weekend my friend!xoxox

I'm a Craig's List addict. Just drove an hour away last nite to pick something up. I have a series on my blog dedicated just to amazing CL ads. I'm lovin' your blog.I'm here from Marian's party and I'm your newest follower. Pop over for a visit sometime.xoxo,Kim

Omigosh this is darling! I have little step ladder like this in neon green sitting next to my paint booth that I've been meaning to makeover for a while now and this is a great motivation! I would love to have you share it at my party. http://designergarden.blogspot.com/p/where-i-link-up.html

Hi Brandi, thank you for visiting my blog Playful Decor. I'm glad to meet you! This re-do is so great - the perfect thing to put in that "what do I put here corner!" I just got 2 chairs off craigslist - one is a chaise!! I need to recover it so it will be a few months before I'm done but I'm still excited anyway. Here's a link if you want to see it: http://playfuldecor.blogspot.com/2011/05/craigslist-considerations.htmlHave a great weekend!

I like the make over of the little ladder. It's so cute! I have one of these and although it is a bid wobble, I still use it because it fits into a tighter space that the new "safe" ones. Maybe I will give it a facelift too!

Hey Brandi, long time since I've said HI,,, miss seeing all your wonderful creations. I LOVE craigslist, I've bought tons of stuff there, and also sold many things, and also have had success finding people to do various jobs for me too.

This is really cute. I saw a little stepladder like this in an alley the other day, and was SO tempted to convince myself that no one wanted it, and it was meant for ME! (But I didn't. ) Now I wish I had!

Perfectly perfect Brandi......I am also in search for something like this..... you did a great job...really inspiring ad at least tempting for me ...visit me if you canhttp://craftaworld.blogspot.com/love Farah

Oh, this is such a great idea sweet Brandy! I think I'm getting one and painting it too! I love it that it'll fit almost anywhere in my apartment and I can fill it up with plants, wow!! Thanks for sharing these and for coming to visit my girls while I was away and for the lovely and sweet comments. Love, FABBY

Brandi, what a wonderful Craigslist find. I love the color of paint you chose to refurb it, and it looks absolutely beautiful with the plants. Those older wooden ladders are getting harder and harder to find these days. Smart of you to snap that one up and give it a new life!

Love the color and how you use it as a plantstand, great idea!We just bought a desk from CL for my anniversary gift:)I'm your newest follower and hope you stop by when you have a minute! I'm also visiting from the paint party at Deb's!

Hi sweetie! I wanted to comment on the beautiful desk from your childhood! I couldn't find the buttom to clic on...so here it goes! I can't get over you, my dear, you're multiple talented, my goodness, you cook, you re-do, you apholster furniture, you decorate! Geezz! I love your little son's room with the snake crawling the curtain rod!hahaha, so adorable!! Lots of hugs, Fabby

Brandi, This is such a darling idea with so much visual impact. I have been looking for a step ladder for awhile. Seeing yours makes me want to double my effort.You have a lovely blog. I am a new follower!

My best friend growing up had the best taste and could make everything look picture perfect. She had a step ladder so much like this styled in just this way when we were growing up. Now, I will be searching Craig's List for one of my own.

Not too bad at all ;) My husband recently found an old ladder on Craigslist and we made it into a shelf display as well! :)) Check it out! I'm using mine for flowers and books! -Mikawww.sparrowshaven.blogspot.com
